IONA expects to report total revenues in the range of $16.5 million to $17.0 million for its first quarter ended March 31, 2003 saying it is "seeing real evidence that the second generation of our Web services integration products is proving a unique solution to reduce the cost of integration for our customers".
The forecast loss of 34 cents to 36 cents a share is higher than the 11 cents to 15 cents a share predicted in January, and revenue guidance is far down from $24 million to $26 million predicted then. Q4 revenues were $30.9 million.

"We think there are at least 1,000 Silicon Valley companies that need to go bankrupt," Ellison told Dow Jones Newswire. The top five companies already account for the lion's share of the computer industry's profits, he said. Furthermore, the world's largest software vendor Microsoft is more profitable than the next 49 biggest put together — including Oracle.
Ellison's forecast mirrors that of analysts Gartner that suggested that half the computer vendors around in 2002 will have been acquired or gone out of business by the end of 2004.
